Re: [csswg-drafts] [css3 positioning] support position:sticky inside an overflow:hidden|auto on general parents

Here's the most layman way to describe the implemenation if anybody is still confused...
> overflow: hidden[/auto] is not preventing position: sticky from working. But if you set overflow to hidden on any ancestor of your sticky element, then this ancestor element will be the scrolling container for your sticky element. - [https://stackoverflow.com/a/44929597/5891228](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44929597/5891228)

And the concept here relates to the issue @frivoal made about missing terminology for a possibly scrollable element that actually scrolls.

[#2322 [cssom-view][css-overflow] Missing terminology](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2322)

Not saying I think this is blocked by that, but wanted to make the connection nonetheless.
